Is there anything i can do
learn from the experience - read the stickies/wiki before trying new stuff and assume that all deals that look significantly better than everything comparable are scams unless you are extremely certain of the opposite.
Accept that you will spend the first few months in EVE reading a lot of guides and/or learning about game mechanics "the hard way".

On that note, I'll give the OP 10 mil if he wont quit. 8 more people and hes collateral is covered. Anyone up to this challenge? Is there any altruism left in EvE?
Lets see if we have 8 people willing to do this, OP will you accept this challenge? Will you stay if we raise 80 mil?
Do you really want to reward people for being careless?
OP was taught a valuable lesson - if that lesson hurts that's all the better (because it will hopefully make him remember it for some time).
In EVE ignorance does not protect you from punishment and you have to suffer from the consequences of your own mistakes - why would you want to pretend something else to the OP just to make him stay?
Give him all the advice you can think of that could make it easier for him to avoid making a similar mistake again - but please don't give him ISK.

You should realize that people are actually doing the kind of stuff Londo Cebb describes.
They create a new alt and sit in some hub, starter system or NPC corp chat claiming to be new to the game and collecting donations from the more altruistically-inclined of their fellow capsuleers.

if you don't want to get scammed again this is the mentality that you need to develop.
QFT
In EVE it is healthy to be paranoid - when you interact with another player you should always consider the possibility of him trying to screw you over, even if you think you know him well but especially if it is somebody completely unknown to you (if you haven't watched the new EVE trailer yet, you definitely should do so - it's inspired by real events).
Betraying the people who you made think they are your friends is marketed as one of the key features of this game.
Almost all kinds of deception, scam and theft are not only tolerated but encouraged by the developers of this game.
In return you shouldn't take it personally if other people look the same way at you - the question is not "why do they expect me to be a scammer?" but "why ffs should they trust me?".
If you are honest to yourself you will notice that in most cases they don't have any reason to assume that you really are who you claim to be and that your intentions really are what you just told them.
And no matter whether you are legit or not - once it becomes known that the guys in MD like to hand out free ISK to any new player who threatens to quit the game there will show up people emulating the same kind of post in order to scam.
